Alfred Nobel founded Nobel prize which is famous around the world.
He put nitroglycerine which the chemist of his acquaintance invented to practical use and, furthermore, he improved this and invented dynamite.
It is often said that he was a merchant of death because the business that he dealt with first and launched last was weapon production.
He produced weapons while advocating pacifism and held contradiction to be active for peace while profiting from war.
However, there was the war after all, so he was anxious about it and he wrote a will to establish Nobel prize and left the world.
